Coconut-Garlic Chutney--Lively and Tempting

Coconut-Garlic Chutney


Coconut-Garlic Chutney--Lively and Tempting
by Victoria Challancin

Recently, I cooked an Indian dinner for friends.  This chutney, which I learned to make from an Indian colleague at Bahrain University, just had to be a part of the meal.  Easy to prepare, pretty (what a color!), and delicious.  A bit different for most palates, it never fails to entice.  I can't tell you how many times I have shared this recipe--and now I am sharing it with you!



Coconut-Garlic Chutney
(Recipe by Victoria Challancin)

9 medium green jalapeño or serrano chiles, seeds removed, destemmed, and deveined
6 large garlic cloves
2 cups dried coconut
Enough water to make blending easy
Salt, to taste

Place ingredients in a food process and puree to desired consistency (I like this a bit chunky).  

Note:  Obviously, you can adjust the heat and the amount of garlic to suit your taste.  Don't use red chiles as they will make it chutney brown--I just had a pretty one on top for color and to shot my guests that this was a spicy dish!


This product from Costco works well with Indian food as well--Mango, Pomegranate, and Chipotle Chile Sauce.

That does look wonderful and what a colour! I happen to love both coconut and garlic so this would be a total hit with me :D

I can only assume that you have met Kirsten West in San Miguel. If not the two of you should meet. Your blog is great and really has me missing San Miguel.

I could merely assume that you might have met Kirsten Gulf within San Miguel. If not the both of you should satisfy. Your blog post is extremely good and really provides myself absent San Miguel.
